Description

Description

Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Essential intermediate of the urea cycle, facilitating ammonia detoxification and supporting liver function. Widely used for fatigue reduction, exercise recovery, muscle metabolism, sleep quality, and indirect growth-hormone support. Compared to arginine, ornithine is better tolerated at higher doses. Base form is often used in powders, while salt forms are preferred for capsules/tablets due to stability.
Applicable Dosage Forms:
Capsules, tablets, powders, sachets, stick packs, oral liquids, sports nutrition & liver-support formulations
Pharmacopoeial / Quality Notes:
Complies with USP / Ph. Eur. / FCC–aligned specifications (grade-dependent). Assayed by HPLC; tested for optical rotation, heavy metals, residual solvents, moisture, and microbial limits. Hygroscopic—moisture-controlled processing recommended.
Animal-origin Declaration:
Non-animal origin; vegetarian & vegan suitable
Manufacturing Support:
Available for contract manufacturing, private/white labeling, customized formulations (liver detox, recovery, sleep & performance blends), complete regulatory documentation (CoA, MSDS, specifications), and export-ready compliance for resale and distribution worldwide
